Building logger with Rust and Scylla DB - Data Layer

In this serie, we’ll build a performant log-server using Rust as a programming language. This post, the first in this serie, will describe the corner stone of our logger - the data layer.

Rust is designed to be fast and safe – thanks to its ownership model it doesn’t require a garabge collector yet providing safety guaranties for data. We will also use ScyllaDB as a database server to store logs data. Scylla is Cassandra compatible database written in C++. According to benchmarks made by Samsung it performs 10x times better than Cassandra on high-end machines and up-to 3x faster on smaller workstations.
